"what!"
Qin Wu was shocked.
Wen Sanhu, however, was filled with rage. He pointed at Qin Yu's nose and cursed, "Your Highness! Stop your nonsense. I am loyal to my country. How could I harm the prince of Daliang?"
"That... then I don't know. Maybe my second brother did something corrupt and illegal? You were so angry that you wanted to kill him?"
Qin Yu pretended to be confused and guessed.
Then, he looked at Emperor Liang and said, "Father! My second brother's daily expenses are indeed a bit extravagant, but this is not a crime punishable by death!"
"If Grand Master Wen can't stand this, he can just write a letter to my second brother and report him. It's unacceptable to justify killing him. Is his status as a veteran of four dynasties more powerful than my eldest brother's Emperor's Golden Sword?"
"Even if my eldest brother holds the Emperor's Golden Sword, he can't just kill the prince or the crown prince at will!"
Qin Yu emphasized one last sentence.
He said this on purpose in order to stop Qin Wu from making excuses!
Qin Wu felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead child. Originally, he only needed to explain that he had discovered evidence of Qin Yu's corruption and went to kill him, and he could exonerate Wen Sanhu!
But Qin Yu had said it before, so he couldn't say it out loud!
Wen Sanhu's face flushed crimson as he looked at Qin Yu coldly, saying, "Haha! What a sharp-tongued Crown Prince! With just a few words, you've turned a loyal minister of Daliang into a traitor plotting rebellion!"
"Alas! Grand Master Wen, your words are wrong. That's not what I meant at all. I just meant that you are arrogant and domineering, relying on your status as a veteran of four dynasties to look down on the Daliang Imperial Family!"
"Alas! Father! With Grand Tutor Wen's qualifications, he does have the capital to be so proud. However, you may look down on us princes, but you must abide by the rules!"
"Otherwise, anyone who is a veteran of four or three dynasties can beat or kill the prince at will. Wouldn't Daliang be in chaos?"
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he gave Qin Mang a wink.
Qin Mang knew that he and Qin Yu were on the same page, so he immediately said, "Father! What my sixth brother said is absolutely right!"
"It's true that I live a luxurious life, but that's because I've received the favor of my father. This is the emperor's grace. Why can't Wen Sanhu tolerate this?"
This!
Wen Sanhu was completely dumbfounded. Qin Yu and Qin Mang always challenged him, but every time they talked about righteousness and etiquette, they just didn't confront him directly!
It was like pouring water on him, but it was all clean water. He was wet all over, but he couldn't say anything!
"Your Majesty! You have witnessed my loyalty to Daliang. I believe Your Majesty will make the final decision on this matter!"
Wen Sanhu simply did not argue and threw the problem to Emperor Liang.
Qin Yu naturally didn't give Emperor Liang a chance to smooth things over. He immediately said, "Father! This matter is clear and straightforward. The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace was besieged by the Iron Cavalry. It is also a fact. Why do you need your father to make the final decision?"
"In my opinion, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate for joint trial. I believe that with the means of these three courts, they will be able to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Qin Mang immediately said, "Father! The Crown Prince is right. This matter should be handed over to the three judicial departments for trial!"
"You guys! That's enough!"
Qin Wu really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Wen Sanhu is his biggest backer. Whether he can become the crown prince depends entirely on him, so Qin Wu will never let anything happen to Wen Sanhu.
"Father! Actually, it's me..."
Qin Wu was stopped by Wen Sanhu just as he said this.
"Your Highness! There is no need to defend this old minister!"
Wen Sanhu said in a deep voice.
"Master Wen! You!"
Qin Wu was shocked.
